Q29 of 38 Page 1

In the setup shown below, a clear image of a distant object is obtained on the screen. The focal length of the concave mirror is:

Focal length will be 9.8 cm

In case of concave mirror if object is at infinity its image will formed at focus.


Here object is at 11.8 cm mark of scale and screen at 2 cm mark of scale. Since image is formed at focus so focal length = 11.8 – 2 = 9.8 cm

Four students A, B, C and D did their experiment of finding the focal length of convex lens by obtaining image of a distant object as follows:

• Student A used the window grill in the laboratory as the object and a white paper sheet held in hand as the screen.


• Student B used a distant tree in the shade and a white thick held in a stand as the screen.


• Student C used a well illuminated laboratory window grill as the object and a white paper sheet held in a stand as the screen.


• Student D used a well illuminated distant tree as the object and a white thick board held in a stand as the screen.


Which student has used the correct method for performing experiment out of the above setups?

In the experiment on refraction of light through a rectangular glass slab done by four students A, B, C and D, the following observations were made:

(a) The emergent ray moves towards the normal after second refraction through glass slab with i = e


(b) The emergent ray moves away from the normal after second refraction through glass slab i < e


(c) For any angle of incidence, always I ˃ e, always.


(d) The emergent ray moves away from normal after second refraction through glass slab with i = e


The student who has made the correct observation is:

To trace the path of ray of light through the triangular glass prism, a student observes that the emergent ray has
